Gorontalo is an off-the-beaten-path destination in Sulawesi that offers incredible diving diversity. It's famous for its unique, contorted Salvador Dali sponges, seasonal whale shark sightings, and fantastic muck diving right in the main harbor.

Features

Known for its steep walls covered in endemic sponges, including the bizarrely shaped Salvador Dali sponge. The area is also a seasonal migration path for whale sharks. The city's harbor offers surprisingly good muck diving.
